Review Notes:I am really getting into these cigars. I wouldn't call them boutique, I would call then very, very good! They are a nice looking stick that is contructed well. They burn is even and the draw is great. You would not think from the wrapper that it would be so spicy but it is subtle enough not to overpower. A fantastic cigar!

Review Notes:This is my second personal evaluation of the Tatuaje Petite Miami Tatuaje. My first experience was average, but after letting it soak in the coolidor for a few months, it was time for another try. At 4.5 x 32 it is perfect for an evening smoke in the garage when the temperature is 17 degrees. Known under the brown label “Miami” rolled, it’s of excellent construction, firm but not hard and is band-less, but a beautiful little cigar. My pre-smoke indicated a tight draw, but this was okay and assured I didn’t consume the small morsel with the first draw. After lighting, there was a cocoa base with a semi-sweet finish. It was rich and there were hints of spice and pepper on the pallet. Later, there were leather overtones in pockets of the smoke, but these came and went. During the second part it became creamier as a coffee background appeared but the spice and peppers were still enjoyably there. I also noticed a few hits of vanilla and I loved the complexity of this small package. There was more leather along the way as the burn stayed very consistent and the gray ash fell about every inch. The last part of this medium flavored cigar kicked up with some more pepper and spice. Coffee was still in the background and besides some annoying celery/hay taste now and again, it was an excellent 30 minute smoke. There was no dryness, the finish was creamy and long, and I really enjoyed the richness and taste. Although a little expensive for such a small tot, it is a nice premium cigar when the elements dictate a quick smoke.

Review Notes:I hate it when cigars look like cigarettes, at least in size. But sometimes good things do come in small packages. ;)
All the qualities of your favorite tat, but not the time constraints - I was at the nub in :20. A great little quickie.

Review Notes:This was a surprise find from my favorite Pipe site. Great price and not seen around very often. These are packaged beautifully in a SLB cab and bound by a ribbon; very reminiscent of cabs from our favorite island locale. Perfect presentation.
The construction of these little beauties is flawless throughout the enitre cab. The wrappers are tight and very well matched for color and consistency. The cigars are packed with tobacco and feel firm to the touch with just the right sponginess when pressed between the fingers.
I lit this little gem up a bit ago and am writing this review as she's burning. There are a million adjectives I can think of to describe this smoke so far; but the most appropriate and simple is ...... WOW! Lots of sweet cream and vanilla are there from the beginning and continue throughout. Midway into it and fabulous spices begin to show and are present more prevalent when blown through the nose. Not harsh or bitter at any point. 3/4 in and it has mellowed and blended into one conglomerated mixture of flavors that are just a pleasure to taste. The finish is not long, but does sit on the roof of your mouth just long enough. As I'm now nubbing this thing; one thought of comparison comes to mind ..... Fonseca Kadete.
The overall reaction .... I am very impressed! Have had a few other Tats that were good, but these are my favorites now. Perfect size for a 30-45 minute smoke. Great construction and presentation. And they taste great!
4.5 out of 5
